So since we have had pretty good accuracy with our AAPL predictions later, I had some time for our FREE members, where I wanted to update the charts for AAPL. Please bear in mind that this is the weekly chart for AAPL.

Right now, fundamentally Apple sales are down a bit. And I guess some of the bad news coming out in the media has had some effects on the chart itself. If you take a look, you can see that the AAPL weekly chart has SINCE JULY 2015, has put in these lower highs!, When you see this sort of consistency is quite important and realistically as a technical trader we would not get excited about this until we saw prices break the 110 area. The last few weeks, we have seen pretty consistant sell offs, and there is a saying in the market. SELL IN MAY AND WALK AWAY! Well.... if you sold in early APRIL, you would be making off like a BANDIT right now! But MAY only has a few days left so we will see what the market gods have in store for us!..... Here is the chart!.....

=====================================================The volatile gold play that’s nearly doubled this year ?

The volatile gold play that’s nearly doubled this year

The volatile gold play that’s nearly doubled this year

Can you dig it?

This year's best-performing exchange-traded funds are all gold plays. Among ETFs with more than $500 million in market value, the top dog is triple-leveraged gold miners product (NUGT), with an insane 315 percent rally. But nipping at its heels is unleveraged gold mining pick (GDXJ), which tracks smaller, or "junior" gold miners, which tend to be more volatile. That ETF is up 98 percent this year, outperforming its bigger brother (GDX), which is also a VanEck Vectors product.

Have a look at the GDXJ chart which since the beginning of the year has been going GANGBUSTERS!.....Imagine if you bought this in JANUARY like some of our clients.

What's incredible is that even after nearly doubling this year, the GDXJ is still down 73 percent over the past five.

The junior gold miners tend to be heavily levered to the price of gold; over the past five years, the GDXJ has a beta of 1.7 to the metal, which means that it tends to trade in the same direction as gold but with almost twice as much volatility. That compares to the 1.4 beta that the GDX has to gold.

Also helping, according to Erin Gibbs of S&P Investment Advisory, is the Canadian dollar's rise against the U.S. dollar. The Canadian dollar's moves are significant, given that many of the companies in the ETF are Canadian, and a rising Canadian dollar helps their values rise in terms of greenbacks.

However, Gibbs warns that from a valuation perspective, the stocks have become "incredibly overvalued."

On the other hand, if gold stays on the incline, the miners should continue to perform well, and the junior miners should perform even better.

If gold "can bust through the $1,300 level, that probably means it goes to $1,350,"That big move could really have a push on miners because they'll respond to a very positive move in gold.

ThNow, gold has not gone up as much as GDXJ, but you can see GOLD is holding quite nicely here.

When we go and have a look at bonds right now, you can see that since FEB-MARCH this year, all we have is a RANGE on bonds.

Basically we are trading in between 160 and 167 and this is likely to continue! Right now, all we can say is eventually all sideways type patterns like the one you see below are meant to be broken, so alot of the bigger investors are watching this with keen interest!.

Below is a video, and a must watch. It is a classic warren buffett interview and several great tips from Mr Warren Buffett himself on how he created the warren buffett investment strategy for beginners, intermediate and expert investors. He really gives away some gems at the end of the video!!!

so we have seen a whole lot of aapl stock predictions around the place....

But we do find the AAPL stock quite interesting when you zoom right back on the chart!

You can see since 2009, we have been in a HUGE major bullish uptrend with AAPL. We have marked the tops [1] and [3] and it seems we are heading back down, you could say to that all important GREEN line or what is called the RISING SUPPORT line that goes all the way back to 2009, when the BULL market STARTED. That would come in at 80-83 level for AAPL.

Stochastics is also on a SELL signal, and we always have that SAYING mid year in 2016. SELL IN MAY AND WALK AWAY! Basically that means, that the smart money on WALL ST tends to SELL IN MAY and come back in the following months. So far we are 6 days into MAY for 2016, and if you followed that advice you would probably have a nice profit on your hand. It is early days though so we will see what happens for the next several weeks.

What we can say is charts like this are powerful, and the reason is because the longer a major trend is in tact, the longer it will stay in tact!!

When we go and have a look at the GOLD chart over the last 20 years you can see that we had a HUGE bull run from 2001. I remember people were saying we would never go over 600 dollars an ounce....

Not only did that not happen, we went all the way up close to 2000 US dollars and ounce.

Then of course people said, we will never go down again, and soon after, GOLD CRASHED hard back down to near the 1000 dollar and ounce level. WOW!

But in all this, you must realize that if we ZOOM back 20 years ago, you can see the smoother UPTREND in gold you can see that it has not really been broken. Even considering gold has crashed pretty hard the last few years. See the uptrend line drawn below. Quite interesting!...

Then if we go and zoom to the DAILY chart you can see that GOLD has just broken out of a WEDGE!
IF we get past the 1300 level, I think it is fair to say we are going to start treadling higher on the metals. So far, so good as they say. See the chart below....
